been thinking about changing my w/mo to a w/r... but I wanted to know if Strength effected Bow abilities or not.

Obviously it shouldn't, but it might.

Thanks.

Strength gives armor penetration with any phsyical dmg... accoarding to a strategy guide released by anet a while back, things may have changed by now... but as of what i know, yes... it effects bows. it's not much armor penetration, but i guess it does help...

Not much at all. Especially considering you could just use ranger skills to fill up the damage, while warriors don't have the energy capacity to use many ranger skills.

strength only affects physical damage? but that means icy, fiery and such hilts are crap! are you sure about you're statement, Perishiko?

Hilts work with the physical dmg, you see... as far as what i knew, strength doesnt work with wands... but it can work with the different dmg hilts.

Someone else who knows more on this can fill you in on the details.

Yeah if str didn't work with elemental hilts, a great number of warriors would be pissed.

Strength only applies to melee damage.
